| Juncus textilis Buch. Basket Rush USDA JUTE2 |
Diegueno Fiber, Basketry Split stems used in basketmaking. Allowed to dry, the stems were split three or four ways into splints and used as wrapping material for coiled baskets, or sometimes as a foundation material in openwork, coiled leaching baskets. Only the lower two feet of the plant, which grows up to eight feet tall, was gathered and used. The plant was collected at any time during the year, but if the centers of the stems were brown, it was not as good for basket making as when the centers were white. Basket designs were formed with the various natural shades of green, tan and brown found in the plant or it was sometimes dyed black.
